Yeah but that mount is bad. Who cares though, at least nikon and canon are still options.

considering a dp2 merrill as a smaller secondary to my FF gear, worth buying one used?

Anonymous 2016-02-25 04:14:32 No.2777363

I wanna see how the DP-H is received. If its better than a Ricoh GR in terms of low light i might sell my ricoh and go for this.

thoughts?

There is no chance whatsoever that it will even approach the low light performance of the GR, even with an f/1.4 lense attached, even downsampled to 16mp from 50mp or whatever it is.
Foveon high ISO is actually that bad.

Depends on what you're planning on using it for.

If it outperforms the OG Canon Rebel, it will be amazing.

That grip is pretty nice. I guess this is how they plan to solve the terrible battery life issue. Why doesn't sony do this?

for fucking around when I don't feel like carrying around pounds of gear, casual landscape or travel shots

A Canon full frame UVIR Foveon-like mirrorless might be the first camera I'm actually excited about.

It won't be for regular everyday photography. Most likely it will be for scientific/astro and engineering uses. Don't get your hopes up.

Probably more than a FF DSLR.
I say over $3000 for the APS-H and over $2500 for the APS-C variant

You mean like the Fujifilm IS Pro?
Why would that be?

I'd still more than happy with a Foveon based Canon.

how do they quattro sensors compare to the merrills? from what I understand the color layers of the sensor are proportionally smaller. how does this affect the colors/resolution?

you can get a used dp merrill for under $500 new ones are less than half of the x100t price I think.

They're completely different cameras for different purposes though. x100 is meant for all around photography and foveon is meant for maximum possible image quality in semi-controlled conditions at low iso. You wouldn't take photos of your kids running around with the dp2, for example.
Here's a merrill compared to a d610 scaled to the same size. the results are pretty impressive http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3590833

It seems like the filter is user removable, if they are clever it could be good to add some features.

iirc it's the filter for IR too so you can very easily convert the camera to take infrared images.

That's not the point. I'm just mentioning that it's an awkward position for the battery grip door. I guess maybe other designs are patendted, but it seems awkward. especially with the "DOOR" text.

Why don't they just make a mft version or something so folks can use lenses they already have rather than make us buy into a whole new system? Foveon technology isn't good enough yet to use one of these as your only camera since the battery will cut out in 5 minutes (most of which time it'll spend writing a single image), and £2500 is ridiculous money to ask for a camera with no lens ecosystem that isn't suitable for most pros or well rounded enough for most enthusiasts

This shill meme is what elevated /p/ above other boards. The fact that other photography boards have threads with more traffic than this whole board makes it an even more magical meme.

Why did they not just keep the fucking SD1 size instead of making a slimmer body with fuckhuge mount?

WHY??? The body is smaller and less ergonomic, Why didnt they just keep the superior SD1 body??

Makes no sense whatever, I am tired of this mirrorless shit SMALLER ISNT BETTER do people not fucking understand ergonomics or what? Whether people want to admit it or not all the mirrorless cameras are fiddly as shit (especially SONYS) compared to a nice comfy 5D3/D810

Ergonomics won't really matter when you're going to have to use it on a tripod anyway.

It is possible to shoot at iso 100 without having to use a tripod you know
